In the 1980s he did business in East Germany when it was still under communist rule. Now Martin Schlaff is one of Austria’s richest people. His close friend Helmut Elsner was CEO of Austrian bank Bawag when it almost collapsed in 2005 because of failed bets on off-balance-sheet derivative investments. Schlaff testified at Elsner’s trial. In 2005, Schlaff also realized a profit of hundreds of millions of euros when he sold a Bulgarian cell-phone carrier to Telekom Austria. His purchase of the company three years earlier was financed by Bawag. Critics have raised questions about his dealings with these companies, but Schlaff has always denied any wrongdoing. Schlaff has close ties to several past and present Israeli politicians. He was a suspect in two corruption investigations in Israel, but both cases were closed without prosecutions.

Comment

Michael Fink, Martin Schlaff’s lawyer, told ICIJ partner in Austria, News, that the HSBC accounts his client was connected to were of three companies in which he had shareholder functions. Fink said that Schlaff never hid this from Austrian tax authorities and that he paid his taxes regularly.
